New York State Canal Authority workers are dwarfed by an immense flood gate structure as they lower flood gates at Erie Canal Lock 8 in Rotterdam in 2012. Canal workers were critical in clearing debris and repairing locks and infrastructure following devastating storms in 2012. Now, thanks to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's politically motivated layoffs, there will be fewer workers for this type of work.
